Five hundred and nineteen of a series. Welcome to this week’s roundup of the best apps, games, and extensions released for Windows 10 and 11 on the Microsoft Store and elsewhere in the past seven days.
Microsoft released a preview update for Windows 11 this week that fixes game performance issues that some users are experiencing. The update, however, introduced a problem of its own. This breaks task manager for some users, apparently.
As always, if I missed an app or game released this week that you think is particularly good, let me know in the comments below or let me know via email.
